File Format
The 633 records audio to the industry-standard Broadcast Wave file format. Additionally, the 633 can
record to MP3 format. Recording WAV or MP3 is selectable per media, from the Setup Menu items
RECORDER > Record to CF, and RECORDER > Record to SD. The 633 can write files to both cards
simultaneously. (See “Digital Audio Format & File Format”, page 34)
File Structure
The 633 records polyphonic or monophonic audio files. A polyphonic take consists of one file with
multiple tracks, whereas a monophonic take consists of one file for each track, per take.
A polyphonic take and file name consists of a scene name, take number, and a file extension. For
example, for scene S01, take T01, the polyphonic file name and take name are both S01T01.wav.
scene number
take number
extension
S01T01.WAV
A monophonic take name is the same as a polyphonic take name, however the file name of each
track differs slightly. Each file (track) of a monophonic take is named with the take name, followed
by an underscore character (“_”), followed by the track designator.
scene number
take number
track designator
extension
S01T01_3.WAV
Note that the track designator is not the same as the track name on the 633:
• The track name on the 633 is indicated on the Input Settings Screens and meters and is stored in
the iXML and bEXT metadata of each file.
